The players should be apologising to the members, fans & the footy public for that dismal display.

No they only apologise when we lose Brownlows, not premierships.

Bedford we need more than just Amartey. Our mids were nonexistent. Rowie tried hard but he was the only one trying. Heeney, Chad, Adams all coasted at different times. I was astounded. Their player is about to run away with the bll & they have to think about whether they chase or not? There is one particular point where Heeney's player is about to run away with the ball & Heeney starts to chase, then stops, then starts, then stops again. He could have caught him but did not try.
Ive already posted who i think , just saying that he will come in
I had a thought at AO the other night, sometime in the 3rd or 4th qtr (in between the 15th and 500th goal for Port), that we should just hand the captaincy to Rowy for now.
Mills clearly can't lead by example at the moment, not necessarily his fault obviously.
I'm talking about right now. I'd drop Mills back to VFL to get some form and fitness.
Rampe may come back in. Papley won't be back for a while, and is prone to go cold sometimes.
I thought he was one of your best when he came on.

Chad has dead set drank his entire bathwater in the last month, dead set over him if he wants to do that go to Freo next year for all I care. I feel as soon as we tried to change the side to fit Parker and Mills in, it's all gone badly. Now I'm not saying Parker hasn't been serviceable but we can point when it went badly, then we copped structural injuries like Jmac, etc.
Now with a slightly clearer mind... Ughh I just have a feeling that the MC will double down on Mills and will try him in the midfield. The 4th quarter is a hint to that. Doesn't matter if the ball was out of his hands.
It feels like dropping him now would mean admitting that the way situation was handled was all wrong and it was a mistake.

Well he did better than Chad did in there, not that the bar is set hight there.
Do feel we need to go back to what worked in the first part, and that was Mills/Parker not being there, play one as the sub if need be.
We badly miss Jmac he's in our top 2-3 unreplacebale players

He can't lead at all. He is not captain material. Just spraying other players whilst doing sweet nothing himself is so ridiculous. I agree, give it to Rowbottom, but I will go further and say he shouldn't expect it back. I would say Papley will be a good Captain too.

I'd honestly make Gulden the captain now, enough is enough. Going forward is Mills in the side next year? I have doubts
Things that won’t happen:
1. Gus in
2. Hamling in
Things that might happen:
1. Cleary in
2. Parker out
Things that will hapoen
1. Armatey in
2. Ladhams out
It’s all a bit meh

Why can't Gus be in? Can't go worse than Mills. Hamling I agree doubt he plays, now we have made the call on Francis being next in he'll stay in unless Melican is back.
Parker out maybe, he did play well as a sub though I'd like him in that role against the Pies.
Ladhams out for good please never ever again. Enough, and especially not as a second ruck when we don't need one!
Mills and Parker came back for the North game. We were trash the week before against the Saints and below par against Freo before that.
Hasn't helped us, but it wasn't the trigger.

Game and especially our style has moved on, where is he playing? Surely he isn't in the midfield mix, so where is he? Gulden or Paps captain please. Rowbottom the VC.

I do feel we were tired against St Kilda so I did give them a pass in that game, the Freo game was poor though agree. It's been a mile worse since we are trying to fit Parker in and a captain who can't run. Why on earth hasn't Mills done a mini pre season in the VFL. We have been playing a man down since he's bee back as he's half fit at best
I saw someone the other day (not on here) seriously suggesting that if Mills had another poor season next year, we would be looking to delist him.....
Recency bias is always hard to overcome when thinking about players in the midst of a poor patch, or coming off significant injuries lay offs.
Oh we're doing the "slower, less flashy players have no place" thing? It makes no sense. If Rowy has a place, a fit Mills does too.
He's either a mid or he plays as a medium defender, but when he's fit and in form.
